Etd.Uwc.Ac.Za/ ABSTRACT Afforded Six (6) Known Compounds Viz Carsonol (C1), Carnosic Acid (C2), 7- Ethoxylrosmanol
DETECTION OF SELECTIVE TYROSINASE INHIBITORS FROM SOME SOUTH AFRICAN PLANT EXTRACTS OF LAMIACEAE FAMILY By Ninon Geornest Eudes Ronauld ETSASSALA A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Department of Chemistry Faculty of Natural Sciences University of the Western Cape Supervisor: Dr. Ahmed Mohammed Co-supervisor: Prof. Emmanuel Iwuoha AUGUST 2016 ABSTRACT ABSTRACT Various dermatological disorders, such as formation of black pigmented patches on the surface of the skin arise from the over-activity of tyrosinase enzyme’s degenerative action. This enzyme is further implicated in the involvement of melanin in malignant melanoma, the most life- threatening skin tumors. Although, synthetic products were found effective to combat this menace, nevertheless, overtime detrimental effect on human skin is a challenge. Investigation of natural tyrosinase inhibitors from methanol extracts of medicinal plants of Lamiaceae family using L-tyrosine as substrate on three different complementary assays (TLC bio-autography, spectrophotometry and cyclic voltammetry) was carried out accordingly. The result indicated Salvia chamelaeagnea, Salvia dolomitica, Plectranthus ecklonii, Plectranthus namaensis, and Plectranthus zuluensis, with significant zone of inhibition against tyrosinase on TLC bio-autography, spectrophotometry result showed that extracts of Plectranthus ecklonii (IC50 = 21.58 휇g/mL), Plectranthus zuluensis (IC50 = 23.99 휇g/mL), Plectranthus madagascariensis (IC50 = 23.99 휇g/mL) and Salvia lanceolata (IC50 = 28.83) demonstrated good anti-tyrosinase activity when compared with kojic acid (IC50 = 3.607 μg/mL). On the other hand, cyclic voltammetry are in consonant with above results thereby supported the nomination of some of the extracts as strong anti-tyrosinase agents. -

The physical properties, chemical composition, and cholinesterase inhibitory activity were determined. Six major components, all sesquiterpenes, were identified: cis-cadina-1(6),4-diene (17.11%) (1), γ-curcumene (13.75%) (2), (E)-caryophyllene (12.58%) (3), (E,E)-α-farnesene (10.00%) (4), α-gurjunene (9.46%) (5) and allo-aromadendrene (6.96%) (6). The EO showed an interesting selective inhibitory activity against the enzyme butyrylcholinesterase (50.70 μg/mL) and only low inhibitory activity against acetylcholinesterase (117.60 μg/mL). The chemical composition and butyrylcholinesterase activity of the EO of S. pichinchensis Benth was reported for first time.

Plant propagation and traditional cultivation are challenging for this species. Therefore, the main purpose of the present study was to establish successful Citation: Copetta, A.; Bazzicalupo, protocols aimed at ensuring oyster plant shoot propagation, rooting and in vivo acclimatization. Both M.; Cassetti, A.; Marchioni, I.; micropropagation and rooting were tested, comparing the traditional in vitro solid substrate in jar Mascarello, C.; Cornara, L.; Pistelli, L.; vs. the liquid culture in a temporary immersion system (TIS) bioreactor (Plantform™). -

Biologica Nyssana, 8 (1), September 2017: 93-98. Micromeria pulegium (Rochel) Benth. is an endemic species from family Lamiaceae. Plants from this family are characterized by presence of secondary metabolites and antioxidant components. Micromeria pulegium contains pulegone which is a potential bio-insecticide and a bio-pesticide. Natural populations of this species are so small that there is a need for an alternative way of propagate and proliferation of individuals. Method of micropropagation was used with the goal of mass production of plants with the chemical composition of essential oils as similar as possible to that in wild-harvested plants. This paper presents the study on influence of concentration of mineral salts, carbon sources (sucrose and maltose) and nitrogen source (casein hydrolysate) on process of in vitro regeneration of plants through induction of axillary buds on the nodal segments of Micromeria pulegium. -
The Botanical, Chemical and Ethnobotanical Diversity of Southern African Lamiaceae
molecules Review The Botanical, Chemical and Ethnobotanical Diversity of Southern African Lamiaceae Ryan D. Rattray and Ben-Erik Van Wyk * Department of Botany and Plant Biotechnology, University of Johannesburg, Auckland Park, P.O. Box 524, Johannesburg 2006, South Africa; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +27-11-559-2412 Abstract: The Lamiaceae is undoubtedly an important plant family, having a rich history of use that spans the globe with many species being used in folk medicine and modern industries alike. Their ability to produce aromatic volatile oils has made them valuable sources of materials in the cosmetic, culinary, and pharmaceutical industries. A thorough account of the taxonomic diversity, chemistry and ethnobotany is lacking for southern African Lamiaceae, which feature some of the region’s most notable medicinal and edible plant species. We provide a comprehensive insight into the Lamiaceae flora of southern Africa, comprising 297 species in 42 genera, 105 of which are endemic to the subcontinent. We further explore the medicinal and traditional uses, where all genera with documented uses are covered for the region. A broad review of the chemistry of southern African Lamiaceae is presented, noting that only 101 species (34%) have been investigated chemically (either their volatile oils or phytochemical characterization of secondary metabolites), thus presenting many and varied opportunities for further studies. The main aim of our study was therefore to present an up-to-date account of the botany, chemistry and traditional uses of the family in southern Africa, and Citation: Rattray, R.D.; Van Wyk, to identify obvious knowledge gaps. -
